Electronic Email Update Service

CMS will be offering a new e-mail update (or listserv) service that delivers Medicare information to Fee-for-Service (FFS) providers, suppliers, and their staffÕs Inboxes. Visitors to the website will be able to sign up to receive updates relevant to Medicare Fee-for-Service providers & suppliers and to receive information on related topics. This new service will allow you to choose between many audience types and subjects of information, such as the National Provider Identifier (NPI), the Physician Quality Reporting Initiative (PQRI), and Preventive Services.

With this new service, you will be able to receive:

• The specific Medicare FFS provider payment messages of your choice
• FFS related-topic messages for which you want to receive information. Note: You must check the topics page often to see what new topics are available
• A new option; both of the above! All messages sent to all FFS Medicare provider payment lists and FFS topics
